I'll probably buy it, but i'm skeptical as always.

[thehomeworld]

BW being truthful about the product they're making will go a long way in helping to patch up what issues they had via marketing ME3 you know the whole 15 endings lie and other dubious things stated.

 

They need to prove with truth and if they aren't sure about what features will show in the end product its best to not comment on them or underpromise so if they over deliver then fans will be excited.

 

Right now its a wait and see hype is hype and with the latest watch dogs bullshots you can't even trust what graphically they'll be showing you if it looks any better then ME3 did. So yeah I'm intrested in real true details, dual fem/male hero mentioning in trailers and interviews, if its a sequal then when in time is it (will our past hero and friends be alive or not), will they axe the Quarian race and my chance to play as a hero of this species?, and then what customization options do we get, beyond all that we'll see I will never say I'm a garentee buy because buying products on brand name alone lets game companies just produce crap and not give quality. end products because they're coming from the mind set of players are dumb walking wallets and will buy anything rather then its our duty to make great cohesive games that will make out customers trust us and earn their money and respect.

If the multiplayer will be as much fun as it was in ME3, I'll buy it! (Pretty much that's what saved ME3 for me).

[SporkFu]

No matter what I say today, the truth is that when information begins to trickle down; and screenies, trailers and info about the characters are released, I'll fall for the hype, pre-order it at the first available date, and play the crap out of it when I get it. No use pretending otherwise. It is inevitable. The cycle must continue.

 

Having said that, I'm stoked for a new ME game, very curious to see what direction they'll take with it, and live in hope that I don't have to upgrade my rig too much just to play it. 

[KaiserShep]

Can't lie, skeptical as I am about how they could keep this IP going, I'm pretty excited to play more Mass Effect and to have a new protagonist with a fresh viewpoint.

[Reorte]

Not really. I'm curious to see how it'll turn out, that's about as much as I'll say. I'm probably more worried than excited, that they'll either take a "sod you" attitude to the criticism of ME3 and make it even more so, or miss the point and go overboard in missing the point so we get an entire game of dull, lighthearted cheese.

I'll probably be more excited if DA:I turns out to be brilliant, a sign that BW still have it.

Yeah, I'm more curious as to how they'll try to dig their way out of the ME3 hole than interested in actually playing the game.

 

 

Mmmmm, cheese....

I'd imagine this is true of 95% of posters, regardless of what they happen to be saying atm. 

[KotorEffect3]

As long as it is not a prequel or some alternative timeline crap I will be excited.

[AlanC9]

What digging? Canonize Destroy, write off any fan who can't get over the geth being gone, and move on.

[Bob from Accounting]

They aren't just going to abandon the geth from the narrative.

[Bardox9]

I am excited about it, but I'll be waiting for reviews and Youtube vids. If it's a prequel and/or the first couple minutes don't bring resolution to the ME3 ending (an it better be a damn good explanation) then I'm not buying a damn thing. I didn't buy the Citadel DLC because instead of something that brought closure to the ending, like fans were screaming for, they made a fluff piece. My reaction to it now is the same as it was when it came out. "Evil twin and a house party? WTF is that?"

 

I want the ending explained before hearing word one about ME4. Until then, I will not spend another dime on Mass Effect games, DLCs, or Books. I love the series, the story, the mythology, but their coy routine when asked about the ending pisses me off to no end.

[Bob from Accounting]

that they'll either take a "sod you" attitude to the criticism of ME3 and make it even more so.

 

That seems rather foolish. Seeing as how much BioWare has clearly tried to fix things people didn't like in the previous game with literally every recent game they've released. Not all of it worked, but the idea that they're going to intetionally spite fans to prove how 'right' ME 3 was is just stupid.

I'd agree, but then we did get EC, which was little more than ten minutes of "we're right, you're wrong"

 

So yeah, not too optimistic about MENext.

Not accurate whatsoever.  They stuck to what they intended, yes, but they also folded in a ton of feedback. 

[Reorte]

Considering what they intended was a large part of the problem...

I'm also basing my concerns on what it feels like has happened in the past. People had issues with the Mako and inventory in ME1? Both got dropped after the erroneous conclusion was apparently reached ("people don't like driving / inventory" rather than the implementation being the problem). I could understand the Mako being dropped if they were unable to develop an interesting way of using it but the inventory leaves a lot of questions.

Anyway, like I said if DA:I turns out amazing I might start getting excited about ME4.

The inventory situation was significantly improved in ME3, though.  Not back to ME1 standards, of course, but far better than ME2's.

True. I'd still rather it didn't have weapon levels but the modding was nice. All it really needed on top of that were some proper armour kitting out for squadmates.

Do people prefer having to get a gun per character, or once you've unlocked it everyone can use it (character restrictions permitting)? I found it rather satisfying getting each character decked out as I wanted, which really relied on the per-character approach.

[Kabooooom]

Are you psyched for ME4? Or are you going to approach its release with caution reading user reviews before purchasing the game?

Then, there is the third option, where you're just like me and you were burned by ME3. If you're like me, you don't care about ME4 in the slightest except for a curiosity as you stand by and observe it but I would never buy another thing from EA ever again. This is just my personal opinion and I know that its not going to happen but Bioware should go back and fix ME3 (at least a better Priority Earth mission with war assets that matter).

You know, they say that an improved ME3 isn't going to happen, well then neither is a purchase from me and a number of other disgruntled gamers who are NOT a minority.

Weren't you always posting indoctrination theory threads before the EC was released way back when, and myself and others told you not to get your hopes up because your expectations were quite frankly unreasonable? And then you posted a thread basically throwing a tantrum about the EC and that you would never be returning to these forums or buying a bioware product ever again? I'm pretty sure that was you. If not, then I apologize.

Anyway, back then I called BS and said I bet you WOULD buy ME4. I think the ending sucked a horrible amount of ass - almost everyone did. But I'm still stoked about ME4 and I am absolutely going to buy it...even if it is a prequel. I have about zero interest in a prequel and I think it is just about the dumbest idea Bioware could go with and I question the cognitive faculties of anyone at Bioware who thinks it would be a good idea...but I would buy it if it turns out to be a good, entertaining game. Which I'm sure it would be. And I think most of us are that way. Even the hardcore ending haters, like you, I imagine will cave and buy ME4 as the hype builds. Even if it turns out to be a flop, I bet you will buy it.

Why? Simple. Because you love the series and the Mass Effect universe enough that you are so profoundly bothered by the endings in the first place. That's why you'll buy it. Because you love Mass Effect, like us, even if you hate a small part of it.

If you are seriously still hung up on/pissed about the ending to the point that you will boycott future games then I'm sorry, but you should raise your threshold for annoyance and disappointment in life, otherwise you will crash and burn when something significantly depressing or troublesome happens.

[DoomsdayDevice]

No, I'm not psyched at all. And it's not even because of ME3 (which I loved), but because of what Bioware is saying about the next game.

 

Until we know more, I can't even begin to think of a plausible scenario, set either before, during or after the trilogy. Unless, you know... Shepard. That is the one thing that would get me psyched. But you know, "No more Shepard.", so there goes that.

 

I might check it out. I dunno. The only reason I'm still hanging around is because I'm hoping to learn more about what it is, and I'm just foolishly hoping they're pulling the wool over our eyes as far as Shepard goes. Second best would be a story without Shepard that does continue on from the events of the trilogy in some kind of satisfying way. But it's hard to think of a satisfying scenario. IT (or something like that) would be amazing though, but I'm definitely not holding my breath.

 

Let's just say Bioware is doing a brilliant job of lowering my expectations to a minimum.

[Malanek]

I'm excited. Hoping to see something at E3 and it sounds possible we will hear something. I am hoping to hear you can play as a non-human, it is a sequel and there is an extended multiplayer. Even if it is a prequel I think I will come around after a bit of disappointment.

[dreamgazer]

Meant in the most benign of ways, I'm looking forward to the prospect of a new protagonist in this setting without Shepard's baggage.

[Toshiro M]

I'm concerned about what it is going to be. Nevertheless is still Mass Effect so I am excited. I think they can't do anything worse than famous ME3 ending so in the end it will be at least a good game.

[felipejiraya]

I'm excited, it's time to see which direction they're going with this franchise.
